Hi Fred,

>That almost works. The problem is that the INIT event fires for the class. It seems to me I remember there being some way to create an object WITHOUT firing the INIT event. You wouldn't happen to know how to do that, would you?

DEFINE CLASS myClass as Custom
   ADD OBJECT Name AS OtherClass NOINIT
ENDDEFINE

The NOINIT option does only work for added objects, not for the class itself. You could try whether you can call the SaveAsClass method of the contained object to create a new class of that type. I suppose you are doing it all in the development environment, so creating the code above on the fly should not be a problem.
